R. Parker (97+/100)
The 2023 La Breña has the Chambolle character of Villanueva de Ávila, peachy, velvety and intoxicating. This is selected from a specific part of the vineyard and aged in a 500-liter barrel. It's aromatic, perfumed and elegant, quite in line with the La Brea 1er from this same vintage. It has some fine-grained tannins that give it some grip and suggest that the wine needs a little bit of time in bottle. Only 485 bottles produced.
